That said, if you use a regular user on Poppet, then that means Poppet gets a NEW role that we don't know AND the regular user loses his ability. It wouldn't do anything but confirm what I already said which is useless at this point because it won't even convince anyone that I'm 100% town. Like you guys said, roles aren't tied to factions so a townie could lie about a role to protect the town or a mafia can tell the truth to hurt the town.
The main reason I chose to use my ability was because it would stimulate discussion. I'm sure that whatever comes out of it we'd have more insight about the rest of the players.
The second reason was that I'd like to suggest the global moderator, if he exists, to sockpuppet me and rhg battle another player, that way we'd have more info to go with on day 1. This wouldn't work if a regular user uses his ability on me and I lose my power, so if any of you guys want to report someone I'd suggest holding off using it on me. It not only would give the town less information than we would otherwise but it also removes from the town an information gathering day ability.
Hewitt hasn't gotten back to me yet btw.
